Chestnut Avenue, Southborough

This beautiful detached 1930's family home sits in an enviable plot overlooking Skinners playing fields in this popular tree-lined street. The house has been subject to renovation in recent years with quality fixtures and fittings throughout this truly stunning family home.

Set back from the road behind a walled front garden and smart block paved driveway is this attractive family property. You reach the spacious entrance hall via an external porch with heating and space for coats and shoes. On your left is the principal reception room with wide bay window, fitted shutters and cream carpets. There is a feature fireplace and space for large furniture. Carrying along the hallway on your left is the snug, which could easily lend itself as a home study.

The impressive kitchen/living/dining room of over 530 sq/ft offers superb family space to include a quality fitted kitchen and two sets of bi-fold doors. It really is a fantastic haven for entertaining with its ample space for a large table and chairs along with sofas. A range of bespoke handmade cabinetry to your left with inbuilt shelving and lighting has secret doors that open into the hidden games room. The games/garden room has bi-fold doors and looks over the rear garden.

Completing the ground floor is the cloakroom and utility room, which forms part of the garage conversion. The utility room offers space for white goods and has further storage, a wash basin and side access to the garden. A door from the utility room takes you to the remining garage space with plenty of storage.

On the first floor from the galleried landing are the five double bedrooms and family bathroom. The principal bedroom has an array of handmade fitted wardrobes, fitted dressing table and modern en-suite shower room. The four further bedrooms are all equally good sized doubles, each enjoying lovely outlooks. A family bathroom finishes the first-floor accommodation with its modern, quality fitted suite. There is a fully boarded loft with vast amounts of space for conversion, should the current lapsed planning permission be re-instated.

Outside there is a good sized, flat rear lawn with surrounding mature shrubs and plants. A footpath leads you along the boundary, and to the summer house at the rear with its own power supply. There are two smart patio areas for dining/entertaining whilst a shed to the side offers storage. Gated access to each side of the house leads you to the front driveway.
